On September 21st, chat online with Dr. Tom Guglielmo from 3pm to 4pm. Dr. Guglielmo is Associate Professor in the George Washington University’s American Studies Department. He will share his current research, including a book tentatively titled Race War: World War II and the Crisis of American Democracy. He'll discuss how race shaped the draft, military blood banks, and other stories in a multiracial synthesis of Americans during the war years.

Meet us at 3pm at: http://www.mnh.si.edu/exhibits/race/dialogue.html

Prof. Guglielmo's teaching and research interests include race and ethnic studies, immigration, and twentieth-century U.S. social, cultural, and political history. His book, White on Arrival: Italians, Race, Color, and Power in Chicago, 1890-1945, won the Allan Nevins Prize from the Society of American Historians and the Frederick Jackson Turner Award from the Organization of American Historians.
